With confirmation that the Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch software, it’s safe to assume that includes amiibo – and if that’s true, then it’s also safe to assume that Nintendo’s signature lineup of toys-to-life figurines isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

So today, we’re analyzing which specific figures are the most useful across many Nintendo games. And although we did look at eight of the most useless amiibo almost a year ago, we’ll also be determining the definitive most useless amiibo today.

It’s been revealed that PlayStation co-creator Ken Kutaragi has a Nintendo PlayStation prototype tucked away in his closest, and it’s a bit different from the hardware we’ve seen previously.
Julian Domanski, a professional photographer in Japan, recently met up with Kutaragi and shared a few photos of the hardware on social media. Needless to say, these things are pretty rare. Domanski mentioned that “the last one in existence was believed to have sold at auction for $300,000.”

We’ve already seen LEGO cross over with Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing, but it’s now been announced that another Nintendo-related property is getting the same treatment – that being Pokemon.
Earlier today, a video was posted by LEGO Mexico on Facebook before it was quickly pulled. During that period when it was available, fans were able to preserve it in full. While it doesn’t show much, Pikachu is teased in LEGO form. It’s a quick clip, though it’s nonetheless clear that we’re getting LEGO Pokemon sets in the future.
